Brian, So true! Whatever we can have is great I think, but where our treasure is is most signifigant. I've recently read alot about people who've had near death experiences and have come back to tell of their experiences. Most all of them say that they now know so greatly that the very most important thing and reason we are here is to Love and to learn to love. That we can take love with us when we go, and the other thing that is good and that we can also take with us is knowledge. To really realize this in the touching way I have from reading the stories of these people, has changed me permanently I think. Although years ago when the subject was up of what would you ask God for, and I told God I wanted Love, and have felt in all my journey alot of his love toward me and other people, now I am stricken even more after hearing the words of people who say they were asked...have you learned to Love? They were also ALL given a life review, in which they were taken right into the very feelings of what people felt as a result of their words and actions and even thoughts. They were made to FEEL just how other people felt by what they said or did. Wow! Now I have a greater habit of thinking more before most everything I say or do! especially if I'm on the virge of saying or doing something that might hurt someone!
